The upper level of the CopperWynd Resort's main building, the upscale restaurant and all 32 European-inspired guest rooms will close Monday until further notice.
A swanky resort in the Phoenix suburb of Fountain Hills will close its doors as a result of the slumping economy. The upper level of the CopperWynd Resort's main building, its upscale restaurant and all 32 European-inspired guest rooms will close Monday until further notice.
The resort's spa, fitness, tennis and pool areas will stay open for private members. "The circumstances dictating this course of action are unfortunately unavoidable,'' CopperWynd manager Doug DeLong wrote in a letter to resort members.
Straddling an area between Scottsdale and Fountain Hills, the four-diamond resort debuted in 1999 to much fanfare.
Delong said in the letter that the resort has suffered from decreased spending and low occupancy. The resort's owners have "done everything" to ward off a closure, he said.
Frank Ferrara, president and CEO of the Fountain Hills Chamber of Commerce, called the luxury inn the "jewel'' of Fountain Hills.
